Ingredients
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 medium-sized flour tortillas
1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
Instructions
-
Make the cream cheese filling: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
-
Assemble the quesadillas: Lay two tortillas flat. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across each, leaving a ½-inch border. Arrange the sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer.
-
Grill the quesadillas: Top each tortilla with another tortilla to form a quesadilla. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grill each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and crisp.
-
Slice and serve: Let the quesadillas rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges using a pizza cutter. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Add chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup inside for a richer treat.
For a tangy twist, add a layer of lemon zest or lemon curd.
Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier alternative.
Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the cream cheese mixture for extra flavor.
Swap strawberries for other fruits like raspberries or blueberries for variety.
